Here's what I've found regarding your reply:
1. Have XP firewall, McAffee is virus scan only
2. Today (12/20) I've followed instructions on reconfiguring firewall - no change. Any way to double check what I've done is correct?
3. RAM is 512MB
4. There is 14.0GB available freespace on Hard Drive
5. Using cable modem connection on LAN
6. I'm using a Motorola SURFboard modem, Model SB4200; D-LINK Ethernet Broadband router, Model DI-604
7. I'm on my home network: Dell Dimension 4500S (desktop) and Dell Inspiron 5100 (laptop) on which LW is installed

I did try the check you suggested and response was 'False' for Received This Session Incoming

Also the last LW session I had on Sunday (12/19) worked fine and I was able to download a few audio files. Today (12/20) I don't get the download list again; and doing the firewall reconfiguration didn't change any thing.

Hope this helps determine what is happening.

Thanks, Bill.
